Your lawn plays a huge role in the overall curb appeal of your home or business, so you'll want to ensure that it is always healthy and looking its best. However, if chinch bugs invade your lawn, they can quickly damage it, causing its health to deteriorate and your curb appeal to plummet. These pests are commonly found here in Indiana and they can damage lawns by sucking the juices out of grass blades, leaving patches of dead grass in their wake. If you suspect your lawn is infested with these insects, you should reach out to a local lawn care company that offers a chinch bug control service so that they can eliminate them from your lawn. If these pests damaged your lawn, you can schedule lawn care services like lawn fertilization, aeration, and overseeding to help restore your lawn back to full health!


What are chinch bugs and what are some symptoms that could indicate your lawn is infested with them?

Chinch bugs are tiny insects that commonly invade lawns here in Indiana. These insects feed on grass blades, using their mouthparts to pierce the blades and then they suck the juices from them, which will dry them out. While feeding, they also release a toxin that can kill the grass! Some symptoms that you should be on the lookout for that could indicate that your lawn is infested with chinch bugs include grass blades with brown spots on them or even large patches of brown or yellow grass.


If you suspect chinch bugs have infested your lawn, you should reach out to a lawn care company right away!

Chinch bugs are destructive pests that can cause serious damage to your lawn if they aren't dealt with in a timely manner. So, if you suspect that these insects have infested your lawn, you'll want to reach out to a lawn care company that offers a chinch bug control service right away! When you do, they will be able to inspect your lawn to confirm if there is an infestation, and if there is, they will be able to apply treatments to your turf to eliminate these pests so that they can't continue to cause damage to your grass!


If your lawn was damaged by chinch bugs, you should schedule lawn care services to restore it back to full health.

While scheduling a chinch bug control service is a great way to eliminate these pests from your lawn, it can't reverse any damage that these insects have already caused to it. However, there are several lawn care services that you can schedule to help your turf recover from chinch bug damage, including:

  • Lawn Fertilization - Fertilization treatments will provide your grass with the nutrients it needs to recover from chinch bug damage and get back to full health.
  • Aeration - Aeration is designed to loosen compacted soil and create channels that nutrients and other resources can use to reach the roots of your grass. With improved access to nutrients and resources, your grass will be better able to recover from chinch bug damage.
  • Overseeding - This service consists of spreading grass seeds across your lawn and can help fill in bare or patchy areas that were caused as a result of chinch bug damage with new grass!

The three main nutrients that are included in most lawn fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
